    U7 Program - 2025/26 Season Registration

    We are thrilled to introduce exciting updates to our U7 program, an essential step in the Sarnia Jr. Lady Sting experience. Designed to help young athletes build foundational skills, this program fosters a love for hockey in a fun, supportive, and structured environment.

    For the 2025/26 season, we’ve partnered with Scott Jones Pro Player Hockey Development to deliver high-quality instruction tailored to early hockey development. This revamped approach emphasizes core skill-building, structured practices, and controlled internal gameplay, all aimed at boosting confidence and teamwork.

     

    Important Program Changes

    For returning U7 players, please note that the 2025/26 season will follow a new structure, different from last year’s format. We are introducing a hybrid model that blends elements from previous seasons to create a stronger developmental foundation:

    • ‘Foundations’ from the 2022/23 season - focused on core skill-building, station-based training, and structured development.
    • Game play with jamboree options, introduced in 2023/24, to provide opportunities for team play and competition.

    Over the past few seasons, we’ve tested various approaches, and the feedback from last season made it clear—we need to return to our roots with the help of Scott Jones Pro Player Hockey Development, placing a strong emphasis on foundational skill development in a structured, progression-based program.

    This ensures that every player receives the necessary training to build confidence, improve skills, and prepare for their hockey journey ahead, no matter what it is.

     

    Program Structure

    The U7 program will follow a 4-week cycle, repeating throughout the season to introduce and reinforce key skills:

    • Week 1: Development plan delivered by Scott Jones Pro Player Hockey Development
    • Week 2: Skill reinforcement led by Volunteer On-Ice Coaches
    • Week 3: Continued skill reinforcement led by Volunteer On-Ice Coaches
    • Week 4: Game Week!
    • This cycle will repeat throughout the year as we introduce new skills, ensuring continuous development and structured progression for our youngest players.

     

    Program Cost

    Registration Fee: $675

     

    Additional Program Details

    • Skill-focused training designed to improve skating, puck control, and teamwork.
    • A safe and engaging environment where players can build confidence.
    • Dedicated coaching support from both Scott Jones Pro Player Hockey Development and On-Ice Parent Volunteer Coaches.
    • Ice time: Players will skate once per week (Saturday or Sunday) for 1.5 hours—exact schedule TBD upon City ice allocations mid August.
    • Players will receive a Sarnia Jr. Lady Sting jersey, in PWHL colors, and a black pair of socks.
    • Players will have opportunities to attend jamborees (additional cost) as well as host our own if we have volunteers to organize it.

     

    Volunteer Opportunities

    We are seeking volunteers to help support the program: 🔹 10 On-Ice Coaches 🔹 3 Trainers 🔹 10 Den Moms

    Interested individuals should apply by 6/20 - please see our recent social post for more information or our website!

      • It is encouraged that players attend as many skates as possible, and more specifically, the evaluation skates for proper placement
